ATRIUM
One of the most hygge aspects of
the ship's staterooms are Viking's
award-winning bathrooms. These
feature under-fl oor heating, anti-
fog mirrors and a natty curved
door to the glass shower recess.
Elsewhere aboard Viking Sun, the large
main atrium public area is dominated
by a giant electronic screen on which
Scandinavian art, including works by
Edvard 'The Scream' Munch, Norway's
most celebrated painter, are projected.
All of the ship's public areas are full of
carefully-selected Nordic-style furnishings.
Off one of the upper decks, there is
a stunning and relaxing wintergarden
space decorated with a forest of beams,
reminiscent of Scandinavian birch trees.
My extended ocean-bound days, in
true hygge style, are spent partaking
in little at all but the prescribed
simple things of a life at sea.
By the time the ship reaches the Bay
of Islands in the North Island of New
Zealand, I'm on a true hygge high. A mug
of hot chocolate, a candle and a cosy
throw shall never seem the same again.
